A polite term for shoving a lubricated probe into the Earth's hole to release gas.

Scum is the epitome of a worthless, good-for-nothing human. They are at the bottom of the hierarchy of humans, even coming in below most fuckbois.

(adj.) Possibly the worst word you can have your name associated with.

It is hard to define the word, but it is basically used to describe someone so disgraceful that they are seen as the lowest form of life. "Worthlessness", "waste of skin", "dirt". "Nothing". Far worse than most other insults, where the victim is often just referred to as genetalia.

The fact that "scum" is a non-swear, and seen as perfectly acceptable English, makes it even more demeaning and offensive. If you are condemned as a "cunt" or a "fucktard", then you are simply being attacked with cliché profanity, used spontaneously and with no particular venom or thought. "Scum", however, is usually only used in exclusive conditions where it is the only word for the job, and makes the victim feel like the lowest of the low.

Anyone who contributes nothing to our society, save for crime, disease and misery.

A layer of impurities that accumulates at the surface of a liquid (especially water or molten metal)

A derogotory phrase to describe someone.
